Yes, but why would we risk it when we've got 3 rb's and a fb? I am disappointed with how much we ran Studs, even though he typically does excel in that style. Even worse, he keeps running with the backup qb. Whaddya do when he gets injured?

I know it was reported in the game day thread, but 8,699 today IIRC. I thought there was plenty of hype. Hockey night appear to make a positive difference. Hoping to tip the 10,000 scale once again in 2 weeks.

Nice to get the win. Unfortunately, this game is asking more questions than answering them.

Yes. Don't know why he was running so much when we have 3 rbs and a FB.

d was playing fine before the offense started to give them no rest. I'm hoping the missed two point attemp works in our favor at some point.

I think that win also seals our spot in the postseason tournament.

We take care of the griz in 4. 9-2 record matches NAU.

Yeah, wasn't sure where he was coming up with that figure, unless he was trying to dig. There could well be one undefeated Big Sky team come Saturday night.

With the NAU loss, UND is back in control of their own destiny for hosting the Big Sky postseason. (alternately, NAU is still in control of their destiny, too. Right now, it's all hinging on the Nov. 10 matchup between the two schools, their only meeting of the regular season.)

I think this is why I would be in favor of either Montana or Cal-Poly beating Eastern Washington and allow UND to win the Big Sky auto-bid (provided UND does its part, too). I don't really want to get lost in the shuffle of a slew of Big Sky teams. Leave No Doubt, right? There's absolutely no doubt if you win the league.

Interesting. I guess if he doesn't have much to say to them or any X's and O's to go over, may as well keep them fresh and loose.

I was there, and the UND fans were definitely more in tune to what was going on, as in, they've actually been to a volleyball game before. Even when NDSU was had set point a couple time in set 3, their fans were not very boisterous. They probably had a good sense how it was going to end. This was the second time I went to a UND/NDSU volleyball in Fargo, and sat in the exact same spot both time: right behind the UND bench (sets 1 & 3) in the first row (basically the only spot left). The visiting team must not have a locker room, because our girls and coaches never left the floor during the 10 minute intermission. It was kind of fun to hear the halftime speech, even though I'm sure it was waaaay tuned down compared to what would be said in a private setting.

I'm assuming your talking about our players, right? #8 Grace Bettenga's grandmother was Miss North Dakota in about 1960, so she has some beauty genes, no doubt.

It's possible, but I think Pryor found the line-up that he likes. Julia K's comeback has hampered Vail's playing time, for sure. So happy for Julia.

Love the article.

http://nobowls.com/ Now playing Western Illinois (it was SDSU before on nobowls, but Stats has had WIU for a couple weeks), this time in Grand Forks(!), with a trip to Fargo on the line.

Well, after winning the first round playoff game, we'll have won 9 ;p

I wouldn't say I'm on the ledge, as I am still high on this team. I will admit that that I've never thought UND would be seeded, even at 9-2. And after yesterday, I think 8-3 would be much more realistic, and I think every one here would consider that a success. At that mark, We still should be in position to host a first round playoff game, which I think would be the ultimate reward for the regular season.

Haha! Like I'm the only one.

As much as 9-2 and a top 8 seed has been fun to talk about over the last couple weeks, I think yesterday, though a win (on the road, no less), is a wake up call. Another loss, perhaps even two, is a strong possibility. Fortunately, the two toughest teams are played at home. Hopefully yesterday's performance was an anomaly.

Can't find the thread where the guy said it, but he predicted a 4 quarter game, and boy he was right.

3 season ticket holders coming from GF in my car.

Wacky wacky last minute+ in that game.

According to the volleyball announcers, there appeared to be some UND football players in the crowd.
